"Your envoy said that Zhao is a sheep and Qin is a tiger, so why is Qin Hu still losing two battles in a row in the hands of Zhao Yang? In the battle of Yanhe, the battle of several battles, the invincible Qin army in the mouth of your envoy was invincible to Mafu and Lian Po, how to explain this? ”

At that time, the diplomacy of the world's great powers was not much different from buying and selling in the market, and the Qin envoy Wang Ji was the seller, desperately trying to create the impression that the Qin State was extremely powerful to the Qi State, trying to make the King of Qi fearful and biased towards the Qin State. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But as buyers, Qi Guo's side can't let the other party talk to themselves, they have to bargain, belittle the other party a little, and raise their own value.

This bargaining job, it is inconvenient for King Qi to end up in person, so it will naturally be handed over to the eloquent Mink Bo.

Fan Ju had exhausted his calculations, and had long expected that the Qi people would definitely talk about the battle with Yan, and had already instructed Wang Ji how to deal with it, so Wang Ji, who had been prepared, smiled and said: "No matter how weak the sheep is, if they are lucky enough, they can put the horns on their heads into the weakness of the tiger and leopard, but this does not mean that the sheep can beat the tiger and leopard." ”

"I heard that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi and Lu fought three battles, Lu won three times, and Qi lost three times, but Lu State, as the winner, was increasingly pressed by the loser, and the land was reduced, and now there are only a few counties left. Although the country of Lu has the name of victory, it has the reality of ruin. Why is that? The state of Qi is strong and the state of Lu is weak. “

"Compared with the state of Qin and the state of Zhao, just like the state of Qi and the state of Lu, the household registration, counties, and soldiers of the state of Zhao are only half of the state of Qin, although Zhao Hao was lucky to defeat Qin with him in Yan, but the death of soldiers is not less than that of the Qin army, and the size of the land has not increased. From this point of view, the situation of the Qin State is by no means something that can be changed by one or two battles, even if the Zhao State wins a hundred battles, it is only a matter of time before it is gradually destroyed, why should the king hold a dry bone and hope that the Zhao State will defend the western border for the Qi State in the west? ”

The King of Qi was thinking about Wang Ji's words, and at this time Mink Bo said: "My Qi State is not a non-Qin and Zhao, and it is not a Zhao and a Qin, so why not abide by neutrality between Qin and Zhao?" ”

Wang Ji straightened his clothes and threatened lightly: "The strongest country today is Qin, followed by Zhao." The two countries fought each other, and from the perspective of the situation, it was impossible to coexist, and in the end Qin would win against Zhao. If the current Qi State does not attach itself to the Qin State, and when Qin defeats the Zhao State, the first thing my king will clean up is Qi! ”

In the face of this naked threat, Mink Bo was not afraid: "Qi is a country with a negative sea, a vast land and people, strong soldiers and brave soldiers, although there are a hundred Qin, crossing thousands of miles across the border, how can you Naqi?" ”

Wang Ji laughed: "The doctor's statement sounds very clever, but it fails to take into account the actual situation. ”

He folded his fingers and calculated: "Now that Qin and Chu are marrying women and forming alliances, the prince of Chu has also come to Xianyang as a hostage. South Korea is like Qin's Guannei Hou, saying that the east does not dare to go west, and saying that the west does not dare to go east. The State of Wei had already sacrificed several cities in Hanoi, and when the King of Wei heard the words of the Prime Minister of Great Qin, he hurriedly cut off the head of Wei Xiang Wei Qi to present it to the State of Qin as a gift. As for Yan Guo, he is also willing to set up Tang Muyi for Qin King and Qin Xiang. “

"If the king does not serve the Qin state, the Qin state will drive the Korean and Wei states to attack the west of the Qi state; The army of Yan State was all dispatched, crossed the Qing River, and pointed directly at Qiancheng and Linjiang; The state of Chu attacked the east of the state of Qi, and Chengyang was no longer owned by the king. The scene of the five kingdoms is reappearing, and when the time comes, even if the king wants to serve the Qin State, it will be too late. “

As soon as these words were exhausted, the King of Qi and Mink Bo looked at each other, and this Qin made Wang Ji and Chang'an Jun when he first entered Qi said the same thing, it was Qi that if he did not help himself, he would incur an invasion from all sides.

If you don't help me, I'll beat you! The simple and clear logic is also the self-confidence of the only two powerful countries in the world, the only difference is that Zhao wants to conclude an alliance with Qi on an equal footing, while Qin is high above and wants Qi to bow his head.

"When did my Qi Kingdom become so weak and afraid of its neighbors?" Qi Wang Tian Fazhang was sad, the Qi State under the rule of King Qi Wei and King Qi Xuan was the only powerful country that could confront Qin, but now, what has it become?

But there is no way, the weak country has no diplomacy, and the Qi country is no longer what it used to be, so it can only choose to rely on a strong country to deter the four borders.

So the king of Qi asked Wang Ji to recuse himself, and he began to discuss countermeasures with Mink Bo.

"Qin's words seem to make sense...... "King Qi's heart is like grass blown by the wind, which side of Qin Zhao is windy, he will prefers which, from the beginning of the year to the present, I don't know how many times it has changed.

Ermine Bo grew wise and admonished: "Otherwise, the king should not believe the words of these pedestrians, for what they are best at is to whitewash their words, make empty comments, elevate themselves, belittle their opponents, and only talk about the benefits of the Qi country, not the harm to the Qi country." Moreover, the Qin envoy seemed to be talking loudly, but in fact, he did not give up the slightest actual benefit. The king might as well summon the envoy up again and interrogate him carefully, if the Zhao State is willing to pay three cities to get the friendship of the Qi State, what can the Qin State give? “

The king of Qi summoned Wang Ji again according to Diao Bo's words, and asked him as above, Wang Ji saluted and said: "If the Qin State sends an army to capture the Taiyuan of the Zhao State, stuff the sheep intestines, and go to the party, the Zhao State will definitely make every effort to transfer troops to the west. At that time, the Qin State dragged the main force of the Zhao army, and the king learned that he would attack Zhao with all his troops. In a few months, the Qi State can recapture the Gaotang and Plains occupied by the Zhao State, east of the Qinghe River, and it will be all owned by the king! “

Mink Bo sneered: "In the end, Qin Guo still doesn't plan to pay a slight, only an empty word, and Qi Guo wants to take it himself?" “

Wang Ji was silent, and once again remembered what the prime minister had told him.

"You have to remember that everything that has happened before, no matter how wonderful it is, is long and short, and it is not to be believed. To say that King Qi is excited, there must be a real situation, and there must be benefits that can impress him......"

So Wang Ji suddenly said: "The foreign minister has forgotten one thing, the king of Qi and the mink doctor probably don't know that the widow set up a new prince in early June!" “

"The crown prince of Qin State?"

King Qi and Mink Bo were shocked, this matter has not yet reached Linzi, Wang Ji should have known before he set off, right?

"I don't know which son the new prince of Qin is who?"

"It's An Guojun."

Wang Ji smiled, observing the expressions of a monarch and a minister, King Qi was a little dazed, he no longer remembered whose title An Guojun was. Mink Bo frowned, and then stretched out and said: "Congratulations to the Qin State, An Guojun is the second son of the King of Qin, and according to the order of the eldest and youngest, he should inherit the business of the King of Qin." ”

"Thank you, doctor, but the widow is prosperous in the spring and autumn, and he lives a hundred years old, and the prince wants to succeed in his career, it's still early, it's still early."

Mink Bo rolled his eyes: "Could it be that the noble envoy means that the Qin State is willing to take An Guojun as a hostage?" ”

Wang Ji shook his head and said: "Since mourning the death of the crown prince in Wei, the Qin State will never be the prince as a pledge again. ”

Seeing that Mink Bo was slightly disappointed, his voice changed: "But An Guojun has many sons, and a few of them are about to become adults, and they can be hostage." ”

For example, the grandson named "Yiren" should be about the same age as Zhao Changanjun.

Later, Wang Ji also tempted that Qin was willing to marry the princess of Qin and serve the king of Qi as the concubine of the broom......

But thinking of King Qi's little body at this time, Wang Ji hurriedly changed his words to dedicate it to Prince Qi.

"The widow also said that after Qi and Qin get married, they can also discuss the division of some disputed territories near Taoqiu, and Qin and Qi are the kingdoms of Kundi and will never attack each other!"

……

"Whether to go or stay in the country of Qi, whether our mission is success or failure, has reached a critical moment."

In the Proton Mansion, Mingyue glanced at the people around him, Zhao Kuo, who was wearing leather armor all day, had a grass in his mouth and was still cynical, Shu Qi, a young man with a sword, was sitting in danger, the clever and eloquent Li Tan looked left and right, and the rangers with drooping hairs sat without a sitting face, and scratched their ears and cheeks after a while.

For this group of people, the days in Qi really caught them off guard, it was originally a leisurely life, the son went to the school palace all day long to argue with the hundreds of princes, their guard work is not heavy, Zhao Kuo read the military book and practiced the army, the ranger and the private subordinates of the Anping Junfu played against each other, and occasionally went to Linzi's flower world to play, and the life was good.

But since Childe killed Teng Geng'er in the palace, life suddenly became tense, there were many more pawns outside, they were ordered not to leave the house, and the group changed from guests to prisoners, and then realized that Childe was really just a "proton".

However, Mingyue's reputation in Linzi these days has not been in vain, he still has a way to learn the news outside, and sent Li Tan and Ranger to wander around Linzi City to inquire about intelligence, Gongsun Long brought him the latest situation of the Xue Palace, and the Anping Junfu next door threw over a silk book with a beautiful font from time to time......

Hou Sheng, who came to visit from time to time on the orders of King Qi, also gave him a lot of secret information because of Mingyue's bribe.

For example, the fact that the envoy of the Qin State had secretly arrived in Linzi and was treated as a guest by the King of Qi......

At this moment, the reason why King Qi suddenly changed his attitude towards himself, from entrapment to expulsion, was found.

So on this day in late June, Mingyue sent people back to Zhao to deliver the news, and also gathered the core figures of this small group of quality and held a short meeting.

"Li Tan, tell me about what you have found out about your visit and listen to it to your second and third sons."

Li Tan is Mingyue's emperor, these days Mingyue asked him to pretend to be a cook who pulls meat and vegetables, go out to buy food, and after leaving the surveillance of the soldiers of Qi State, he quietly got out of the car and hid, and began to use the Linzi dialect he had learned to inquire about the news.

The hard work paid off, and it really made him find something unusual.

"The Qin envoy should be in a building in the west of the city, close to the palace of the king of Qi, when I was searching around there, I saw Dr. Ermine's car driving in and out several times, every time I went there was someone in the car, and when I left, ......there was no one in the car."

Combined with the few words that Hou Sheng confided, it can almost be concluded that the envoys of the Qin State are in that mansion and receive the King of Qi every day, which is in stark contrast to the desertion here!

Mingyue did not regret the events of that day, Teng Geng's death was an accident, and he deserved it, who would have thought that this cheeky old Confucian cardiovascular system was so fragile?

Qin Guo's means were very clever this time, and he did not send an envoy to fight him in the ring with great fanfare, but quietly entered the Qi, everything was trading in secret, and when Mingyue found out, it was too late, and then he fell into the current passive state.

"But in the final analysis, it is still the gap between the international status of Qin and Zhao, and an envoy of Qin is much stronger than my Zhao State Proton in Linzi......"

Not to mention that Yue couldn't make any decisions on behalf of Zhao Guo at all, every time he had to send someone to Handan for a run, and for twenty days back and forth, the daylily was cold.

In the world of the Warring States Period, there is no fixed master, there is no fixed diplomatic relationship between the state, and the country of Qi is the grass on the wall, which may sway at any time, and it is useless to sigh now.

After Mingyue asked Li Tan to finish the investigation in detail, he said solemnly: "King Qi's attitude has changed, I am afraid that he has been moved by the Qin envoy to abandon Zhao and join Qin, and Teng Geng's incident has given him an excuse, and he wants to make up his mind to expel me from the country, which is a matter of the past few days." ”

He deeply felt that there was not much time left for him to be in Linzi!

Mingyue's eyes swept over everyone: "What opinions do the second and third sons have, let's talk about it!" ”

The impatient ranger Lu Jujian couldn't help it for a long time, and immediately jumped up, slapped his saber on the desk, and made a loud noise.

He knelt down and said angrily: "Childe, I am a rough man, I don't know what the friendship between the two countries is, and I am vertical and horizontal. If you want me to say, since you know where the Qin envoy is, it is better to send all the soldiers and guards in the mansion to the west of the city, kill the Qin envoy, cut off his head and put it in front of the king of Qi. The Qin envoys are all dead, and there will be no way for the Qi State and the Qin State to form an alliance and make friends, and the mission of the prince will definitely be completed! ”

This bold remark shocked everyone, and before Mingyue could express her position, two people stood up and said in unison: "This matter must not be!" ”
